I've got enough finds now that I don't often see a hide that I haven't seen before, but this one caught me off guard. It's a very cleverly done cache that deserves some love and attention.

The cache is located in a nice park in Burnsville and is a fun one. The cache is well designed and makes you think through the solution. It is not as straight forward as it looks at first sight. If you haven't done this one yet, I would recommend traveling out to get it.

It has been nominated before (November 2011) but still has only 15 finds. 12 of those finders gave it a favorite point. It was very well done and was fun and winter friendly. It is not far off I-35, just North of Faribault. Please check it out if you are driving by. It isn't a park and grab, but will be worth your time.

For those unfamiliar with the GEO-CLUE series, it is a 20+ mystery/multi cache series (no traditionals) in Olmsted county featuring a cache for each room, suspect, weapon, plus one for the instructions. Each cache has one card from the game to help out with leading to the final accusation. It kept us going for months and we had a lot fun.

Also as the only cachers to have done (and favorited) both of the Clue caches - we want to see a vote.

We haven't done a huge number of multi caches but this is, in my opinion, the most challenging yet enjoyable multi stage cache I have seen yet.
There are twelve stages total and the planning and work that went into this effort is evident right from the start.
It also promotes teamwork and camaraderie as you will not be able to complete this one alone.
The entire cache page should be read a few times before attempting to tackle this one, paying close attention to any hints no matter how subtle they may be because some TOTT will be required to complete the stages.
You will be challenged physically and mentally here but you'll love it!

Since this is the COTM for midsummer I'd like to nominate a cache which embraces one of summer's greatest pastimes - fishing. If you don't have any luck on the lakes around Ely give SOMETHING'S FISHY a try. EAGLEYES went all out on this fun cache. Kids and adults of all ages enjoy this kind of fishing.

It is an interesting take on the Clue game where you visit rooms to get alibis and coordinates to other rooms until you can make the final accusation. The cache has a fun mix of hides and terrains leading to an interesting final container. In five months it has managed to collect 28 favorite points - over 1 every 6 days. Makes for a fun family orientated experience.

This is literally a drive-up cache, one you can spot from 50-100 feet away. We recently logged this without getting out of the car just to prove it could be done. A good deal of effort goes into making difficult or evil hides. This cache owner has gone to great lengths to do the opposite, and I think deserves recognition for doing so.

This is a fun/tricky Multi located in Chaska. It has 12 favorite points and it requires you to think and figure some things out to be able to SL. One of the stages are pretty tough to locate but it adds to the thrill of the hunt. Thanks J*B

I would like to nominate Wicked (GC4J30T) by berresfamily. Rarely anymore do you find a cache constructed in such a manner. The cache is a Traditional but to get at the log requires a bit of field puzzle sleuthing. Berresfamily is a brand new cacher and right out of the blocks is hitting home runs. Kudos.

Any other words of Congratulations are welcome in this thread.

Thank you. It was a great time constructing the cache. It's most important to me that my fellow geocachers enjoy the cache and have a good experience.

On that note, if anyone is interested in a guided tour of the cache this weekend, Saturday or Sunday, along with the CO, please send me a private message. I want to perform cache maintenance to make sure the cache is in top shape. Snowshoes or long legs will probably be required.
